schestowitz[TR2]> I world love to be able to provide you with more information but it is necessary for me to be very cautious.

schestowitz[TR2]<chromas> I think it was started by TMBMar 13 10:04

schestowitz[TR2]<janrinok> schestowitz[TR], there is a problem with preventing people from speaking on this channel.  It is used by people who wish to inform us of problems, or to ask questions about a specific aspect of the site.  We cannot always be on here reading things in real-time, so if they get not response we do not the communication desired.Mar 13 10:14
schestowitz[TR2]<janrinok> * if they get no response we do not have the communication desired.  (Typing too fast again...!)Mar 13 10:14
schestowitz[TR2]<fab23> schestowitz[TR]: As I see it, we do have more traffic in the channel caused by discussing the issue, then what the issue itself causes.Mar 13 10:14
schestowitz[TR2]<janrinok> Those wishing to interrupt the site want people to know who they are - they seek the publicity.  They therefore either use their real name or they give themselves away by the things that they say.  Anything else and they are not achieving their aim.Mar 13 10:14
schestowitz[TR2]<schestowitz[TR]> we adopted a different approachMar 13 10:14
schestowitz[TR2]<schestowitz[TR]> we identified themMar 13 10:14
schestowitz[TR2]<schestowitz[TR]> and then explained what they didMar 13 10:14
schestowitz[TR2]* chromas waits for the punchlineMar 13 10:14
schestowitz[TR2]<janrinok> Everybody knows aristarchus.  He has accounts elsewhere.Mar 13 10:14
schestowitz[TR2]<schestowitz[TR]> it's like MikeUSAMar 13 10:14
schestowitz[TR2]<schestowitz[TR]> in Linux circlesMar 13 10:14
schestowitz[TR2]<janrinok> He was here for a while tooMar 13 10:14
